Currently looking to upgrade our computers and our 6 pc render farm to 64bit xp. We have had truobles at 32bit with scenes not rendering and bombing out. When I have taken these scenes home I have found that render on my machine at home which is nothing comapired to the ones at work except it has 64bit processor and 4 gig of ram with windows xp 64bit. Currently we are running Max 8 on 32bit with 2gig of ram. As we know the scenes only render with the ram and 64bit windows (still max 8) we are thinking of upgrading but have a few questions.) How is max 2008 and backburner running on 64 bit does anyone have any major problems with it? We want to use Vray 1.5 64 bit, has any one also had any problems with max 2008 and this vray?

Our IT guy says he has found so many problems with this that he is not looking into doing this but we need some good arguments so upgrade, but also any problems. Cheers, now lets get discussing.

We are using Max 2008 64 bit and 32 bit, but not with Vray. Max 2008 64 bit crashes like crazy (opening files from inside max is the worst). This has been proven out on 2 different systems, both Dell 690’s running XP64 and all the rest of what Autodesk says is an identical system tested for Max 2008.

We have not been able to get around the crashes and at times need to use the Max 32 bit just to avoid saving every 5 minutes. There were other threads (on the AREA as well) of other users having simular issues.

Max 9 64 bit was rock solid, with crashes being a very rare occurance. Premiere pro cs6 tutorial. Sorry for the non-positive post, but we are not happy with 2008 64 bit.

We have been using 3ds Max for the last two versions on 64bit systems with no problems. Originally our workstations were 32bit (and 4GBs ram) and when we made the switch to 64bit, it seems that just switching to 64bit made very thing work better, of course we were utilizing all the installed ram. We had first started with our render farm, which are all dual processor Xeons with 8GBs of ram and it was so stable, it became our inspiration to switched our workstations.

Now we are now completely 64bit. (We keep two computers 32bit for testing purposes or the odd application that needs 32bit.) Sure there are some limitations like QuickTime no working properly but it really is a minor thing to lose. Remember that you can still render in 32bit on WinXP 64bit, but you lose the 64bit benefits but you can gain most of your compatibility back.
